RM 1370 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the used RM 1370 means looking at a 2017-onward Marc Lombard fast cruiser built by RM Yachts as the brand's flagship successor to the 1360. These are epoxy-plywood hulls with a 75 hp Volvo Penta diesel, and a cutter rig set up for easy short-handed passage work. On the brokerage market you will mostly meet the three-cabin owner layouts, with the occasional technical-space conversion.
Layouts on the Used Market
The standard plan puts the owner's cabin forward with a very wide berth and a split head and shower. The main saloon benefits from the large deckhouse windows and side ports, and the galley and chart table are full-sized. Aft, buyers should measure carefully: one stern berth is nearly queen-width, but the other is under 130 centimeters, and neither is especially long. A third cabin may appear where an owner asked the yard to convert a technical room. Some interior doors are only 40 centimeters wide, which matters if you are moving bulky gear or have mobility concerns.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The boat's cockpit is built around sail handling, with six winches and a German mainsheet system feeding a double backstay and a permanent bowsprit for Code 0 or gennaker. A 75 hp Volvo Penta D2-75 with a four-blade folding propeller drives her at over six knots at 2,000 rpm and up to 8.5 knots flat out, and the engine compartment is well insulated for low noise. For comfort, the open stern can take optional benches that double as helmsman seating and storage, and the cockpit floor hides line bins under teak gratings to keep the working area clear.
What to Inspect
The standout item on any survey is the deckhouse glazing. The two large forward window surfaces are very smooth with no anti-slip, not even around the glass, and a reviewer cautioned that anyone walking across them could slip when wet. Check those areas for scuffing or prior falls, and judge whether you will add traction. Otherwise the epoxy-plywood hull is straightforward to assess for impact or water ingress at the keel and chainplate attachments.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Regional availability follows the markets where RM Yachts boats are typically sold; consult local brokers for current reach. For a buyer, the checklist is short:
- Measure both aft berths; the narrow one may not suit your crew
- Inspect the smooth deckhouse windows for slip risk and wear
- Confirm the Volvo D2-75 and folding prop history and noise levels
- Verify the three-cabin conversion is properly finished if present
- Test the six-winch cockpit and German main for smooth short-handed use
